Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal insulation material production technology, and more specifically, to a method for producing concrete aerogel composite thermal insulation wall panels. Background Technology
[0002] Amid the global energy crisis, building energy conservation has become a core issue for sustainable development in various countries. According to statistics, building energy consumption accounts for more than 40% of global total energy consumption, with heat loss from building envelopes accounting for as much as 60%-70%. Traditional insulation materials such as polystyrene boards (EPS) and polyurethane (PU) have good insulation performance, but they also have problems such as flammability, poor durability, and construction pollution, making it difficult to meet the complex requirements of modern buildings for safety, environmental protection, and long life. Against this backdrop, inorganic insulation materials have gradually become a research hotspot due to their Class A fire resistance, environmental friendliness, and lifespan comparable to that of buildings.
[0003] Existing concrete insulation wall panels mostly use polystyrene boards, extruded polystyrene boards, etc. as the core insulation layer, which are formed by bonding or casting. These wall panels have limited insulation performance, with thermal conductivity generally higher than 0.03W / (m・K), making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-efficiency insulation. At the same time, the bonding strength between the insulation layer and the concrete substrate is low, and peeling and falling off are prone to occur after long-term use. Moreover, the production process is mostly carried out in steps, which is cumbersome, has low production efficiency, and poor dimensional accuracy of finished products. In addition, the traditional production method lacks effective control over the dispersion of aerogel, resulting in uneven distribution of aerogel in the composite layer, which affects the overall insulation effect and structural stability of the wall panel, and cannot achieve a synergistic improvement in insulation performance, mechanical strength and production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a method for producing concrete aerogel composite thermal insulation wall panels, which can achieve uniform dispersion of aerogel in the composite layer, improve the thermal insulation performance and structural stability of the wall panels, simplify the production process, and improve production efficiency.
[0005] 2. Technical Solution To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0006] A method for producing a concrete aerogel composite thermal insulation wall panel includes the following steps: S1. Place the nano-silica aerogel particles into the modifier solution, stir and disperse at 30-40℃ for 20-30 minutes, filter, and dry at 80-100℃ to constant weight to obtain the modified aerogel. S2. Mix the modified aerogel, epoxy resin, and curing agent in a mass ratio of 1:3-5:0.8-1.2, pour the mixture into a mold, degas it under vacuum, and then cure it at 50-60℃ for 2-3 hours to form an aerogel insulation core layer. S3. Mix cement, aggregate, admixture, and water in a mass ratio of 1:2.5-3.5:0.02-0.05:0.4-0.5 and stir evenly to obtain concrete slurry; S4. First, pour the concrete slurry into the bottom layer of the composite mold, lay a layer of fiberglass mesh, then embed the cured aerogel insulation core layer into the middle of the composite mold, and then inject the concrete slurry into the upper layer of the composite mold. After vibration and compaction, smooth the surface. S5. Place the composite mold in the curing room and cure it for 4-6 hours at 20-25℃ and 80-90% humidity. Then, raise the temperature to 40-50℃ and 70-80% humidity and cure it for 12-16 hours. Finally, cool it down to room temperature and cure it naturally for 24-36 hours. Demold the mold to obtain the concrete aerogel composite insulation wall panel.
[0007] Furthermore, the modifier solution in S1 is a mixed solution prepared by silane coupling agent KH-550 and ethanol at a volume ratio of 1:15-20, and the liquid-solid ratio of the modifier solution to the nano silica aerogel particles is 5-8:1.
[0008] Furthermore, in S2, the vacuum degree of vacuum degassing is -0.08 to -0.1 MPa, the degassing time is 15-20 minutes, and the thickness of the aerogel insulation core layer is controlled at 20-40 mm.
[0009] Furthermore, in S3, the aggregate is composed of quartz sand with a particle size of 0.5-1mm and basalt crushed stone with a particle size of 2-5mm mixed at a mass ratio of 2:1, and the admixture is a polycarboxylate-based high-efficiency water-reducing agent.
[0010] Furthermore, in S4, the glass fiber mesh has a mesh count of 80-120, and its adhesion to the concrete slurry during laying is not less than 95%. The vibration compaction frequency is 50-60Hz, and the compaction time is 3-5 minutes.
[0011] Furthermore, in S4, the cavity size error of the composite mold is controlled within ±0.5mm, the thickness of the bottom layer of concrete slurry is 30-50mm, and the thickness of the top layer of concrete slurry is the same as that of the bottom layer.
[0012] Furthermore, in S5, the heating rate is controlled at 5-8℃ / hour and the cooling rate is controlled at 3-5℃ / hour to avoid sudden temperature changes that could cause the wall panel to crack.
[0013] Furthermore, the process also includes post-processing steps: the surface of the demolded wall panel is sanded to remove burrs and protrusions, and then a layer of penetrating waterproofing agent is sprayed onto the surface at a rate of 0.2-0.3 kg / m². After air drying, the panel is stored in the warehouse.
[0014] Furthermore, the curing agent in S2 is an amine-based curing agent. After the aerogel insulation core layer is cured, its compressive strength is tested, and the qualified standard is a compressive strength ≥ 1.5 MPa.
[0015] Furthermore, in S3, the concrete slurry is mixed using a twin-shaft screw mixer for 8-12 minutes at a speed of 300-400 r / min to ensure that the slurry is uniform and free of lumps.
[0016] 3. Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: This solution modifies aerogel particles with a silane coupling agent, effectively improving the compatibility between aerogel and epoxy resin. Combined with a vacuum degassing process, it achieves uniform dispersion of the aerogel in the insulation core layer, reducing the thermal conductivity of the wall panel to below 0.025 W / (m·K), significantly improving insulation performance. A composite molding structure of "concrete slurry - fiberglass mesh - insulation core layer - concrete slurry" is adopted. The fiberglass mesh enhances the bonding strength between the concrete substrate and the insulation core layer, achieving a bonding strength ≥0.8 MPa, preventing peeling issues over long-term use. The solution integrates pretreatment, core layer preparation, composite molding, and gradient curing processes, simplifying the production flow and shortening the production cycle by more than 30%. Furthermore, through precise mold control and vibration compaction, the finished product dimensional error is ≤±0.5 mm, improving product quality. The gradient curing process effectively alleviates temperature stress, and combined with post-treatment waterproof spraying, the wall panel's water absorption rate is ≤3%, and its compressive strength is ≥15 MPa, balancing insulation performance and structural stability, thus broadening its applicability.
